Thank you very much Aaron. I recall from the=
logs of this upgraded node to 1.2.2 reported seeing others as dead. Brando=
n suggested in=C2=A0https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA=
-5332 that I should at least upgrade from 1.1.7. So, I decided to try u=
pgrading to 1.1.10 first before upgrading to 1.2.2. I am in the middle of t=
roubleshooting some other issues I had with that upgrade (posted separately=
), once I am done, I will give your suggestion a try.
